    Mr Smith, i was hoping to get things all together for this month with respect to some actual racing, but work & travel out of New Zealand is limiting progress!. Probably November at least till that happens now, - never mind good things take time -or so they say.
    Hows that 1422cc Suzuki of yours :-),

    sshhh, my 1216cc bike is going OK. Dyno'ed 157 RWHP last week. BUT I've stuffed my back. I'll try and ride the AMCC Rd1 this weekend, as they already have my money, but the weather looks crap and I'm running low on HARDEN UP pills.
    Your bike sound impressive, what happened to the YSS shocks?
    I might see you at the tri series in December.

    Cooor, no wonder your back is naffed ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN RWH has been crushing your vertebrae :-) , My advice in the wet is to "run your dry practice pace" , thats about as quick as you go in the wet without grinding the GSXR sign off the side...........

    The Bimota is starting to look good, but apparently i need another 22RWHP......... :-(

    The YSS was good stuff & got us a few lap records so dont knock it till you try it, But CKT had a base setting for their Ohlins series shocks "on file" , and it felt pretty good truth be known. I have just fitted a heavier spring though, so next time it see's the light of day it will be to test that. BTW the 180 series Interact Metzelers are pretty cool too & worth a look.

    If I ever get the spare cash together, I'd love to come and join you chaps on a slab sided GSXR1100. They're good for wheelies!

    My understanding is the YB8 was 1st shown at the milan show in 1989, but was a 1990 production model? The motorcycle spec sites seem to concur with each other as do nearly all the enthusiast sites I've seen. What up?

    Don't the rules just say "manufactured prior to" doesn't say anything about how many have to be manufactured
